aankhon se nur dil se khushi chhin li gai
hum se hamari zinda-dili chhin li gai

ek roz ittifaq se hum muskurae the
is ki saza mein hum se hansi chhin li gai

kitne charagh nur se mahrum ho gae
jab se hamari khush-nazari chhin li gai

shikwa mera mizaj na matam meri sarisht
har-chand mujh se khanda-labi chhin li gai

'iqbaal' is khushi ka bharosa bhi kuchh na tha
achchha hua ye dard-sari chhin li gai
